ENTRY REQUIREMENTS & CRITERIA
Scholarship awards are contingent upon acceptance to the chosen Art Institutes school
and are awarded in the form of a tuition credit. All tuition scholarships are awarded
toward a bachelor’s or associate’s degree, diploma program, or certificate program.
Tuition scholarships are non-transferable. Upon accepting the scholarship, the recipient
must begin his or her studies in the summer or fall quarter following high school
graduation. Recipients must maintain a 2.5 GPA or higher during his or her studies
at the chosen Art Institutes school; a GPA of less than 2.5 will result in a loss
of scholarship. In the event that the scholarship recipient’s education is terminated,
either by the school or by the student, the scholarship becomes null and void. Tuition
scholarships are not redeemable for cash. The tuition scholarship covers academic
tuition and may not be applied against fees, housing, living expenses, or program
supplies and may not be transferred between affiliate schools. Scholarship recipients
must not interrupt their studies; interruption of studies will result in a loss
of the scholarship.
All entry materials become the property of The Art Institutes. The judging team
is not responsible for loss, damage, or return of entry materials.

costs and may not be transferred. Scholarship money is awarded in the form of a
tuition credit, and will be prorated during the length of the student’s degree program.
